Barn wood sign

I made my first barn wood sign. I used the wood we saved from my in-laws pole barn we tore down several years ago. I used walnut stain on the boards, and cut the stencil out of contact paper with my lynx. I should have put a couple coats of poly on before I did the painting of the letters. I had a really hard time getting the contact paper to stick to the wood, and had some edges that bled. Now I know for next time :)

About Me

I am a SAHM (although I do babysit full time) of three children ages 19, 17 & 13. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 22 years. I love to craft, read, and bake, although crafting has consumed my time lately! I got my cricut 14 months ago with intentions of scrapbooking. I have yet to scrap a single page with it! Instead I find myself looking for "projects" I can make. My family says I have a problem. I never knew I loved paper!!!!
